Help North Bay fire victims on Saturday, Oct. 14 by bringing specified items to CERAS (Center for Research and Education at Stanford) on the Stanford campus 8am-2pm.
North Bay educators meeting there Saturday will bring the items to shelters.
Writes Linda Bauld: We are all heartbroken with the news of destruction affecting our friends in the North Bay. We have teachers who have lost homes and schools, yet are still joining us Saturday as they pursue National Board Certification.
Since we are holding a session tomorrow and some of our Marin folk are attending, this is a great opportunity to lend them our support. Can you bring non-perishable food, blankets, toiletry products (as specified below) to the CERAS ground floor lobby tomorrow between 8:00 and 2:00? We will load up cars and deliver it back to the North Bay either tomorrow afternoon or Sunday. If you have some empty boxes that would help as well.
I know this is last minute, but let’s do what we can.
In solidarity and #NBCTStrong,
Linda
Latest update from a Marin teacher: New socks, new undergarments, for all ages, adult diapers for the elderly are in great need.
We are in dire need of ready-to-eat, non-perishable foods that we can provide to the evacuation centers immediately. These foods should be easy to open and easy to eat – many shelters do not have kitchens for heating and preparing food. Please do not bring glass containers.
They have specifically asked for things like granola bars, trail mix, fruit cups, canned soups – things that can be easily distributed and don’t require use of a kitchen.
Gift cards are a big ask for places like Target, hardware stores, etc.- things that will allow those who are displaced to get exactly what they need for their families.
